Un nouveau site que je viens de découvrir : Clients from Hell, littéralement “Les Clients de l’Enfer”. C’est un site (en anglais) qui répertorie les perles que des clients ont sorti à leur graphiste / webdesigner / développeur web… C’est très rigolo quand on est du métier ! Pour les autres, je ne sais pas, c’est à vous de juger…

Voici ma petite sélection :

Client: “Well, how big is your computer?”

Me: “My, uh… How big?”

Client: “Yeah. How big? Is it big enough to handle a big sign?”

Me: “Well it’s a newer MacBook Pro so, like I said, I shouldn’t have any trouble.”

Client: “No, like how many inches?”

Me: “Um, well… It has a 17-inch screen.”

Client: “Well that won’t work. We need something that’s thirty or forty inches wide. It’s a big sign.”

Can you show Joanne [client’s secretary] how you designed our business cards. I don’t want to pay you for doing them.

We need more power colors in this… also we need to work on the copy. We don’t want to sound needy… like a bunch of women.

Client: “I’ve sent the image. I can’t wait to see the final product.”

Me: “This image is 115px x 148px at 72dpi. Typically we need images around 1000px and higher with around 150+dpi.”

Client: “Can’t you just Enhance the images like they do in CSI.”

Hu hu hu !
